  Hi! I’m not sure if this is just a rash or he’s over grooming. He keeps licking it. It’s a out the size of a nickel and it’s raised. Help bunny ppl 😊

  Hmm, is it actually bumpy? Did it just appear, or did it gradually show up? Does he seem agitated by it? I’m not the savviest, but I think that those answers could help someone who is. 🙂 Could be overgrooming, but that picture just leaves me with lots of questions. Hopefully, you find an answer soon, and sorry if this isn’t a satisfying reply, I am in this mystery with you! 😕

  Is that a hole or a crusty scab-type thing in the middle? It’s hard to tell from the pictures.
  
  Is there a bump underneath the skin that is larger than the dark area in the middle? If the dark area is a hole… then we worry about bot flies. Has he been outside? If the dark area is actually a crusty scab, then there’s the possibility of it being a ruptured abscess.
  
  If there is no actual bump underneath the skin and it’s just a crusty scab-looking thing, then it could be a papilloma.
  
  Sorry to give you so many possibilities. It’s just so hard to tell from the pictures.
